more from Colette...






"Our perfect companions
never have fewer than four feet."




















" Sincerity is not a spontaneous flower
























...nor is modesty either "
















" Total absence of humor renders life impossible "




















" The lovesick,

the betrayed,
and the jealous
all smell alike "








"It is wise to apply the oil of refined politeness















to the mechanism of friendship.
"







" The woman who thinks she is intelligent



demands equal rights with men.












A woman who is intelligent does not.
"






"The true traveler is she who goes on foot,








and even then ...
she sits down a lot of the time "








"What a wonderful life I've had!















I only wish I'd realized it sooner."










Quotes from




Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
1873-1954
